    I own property in NZ and pay tax on the income from that

    I also pay tax in Singapore(although the rate is a lot lower than NZ)

    So I contribute to both countries

    I left NZ to set up my business in Singapore because I got zero help and max aggravation from the NZ beauracracy and exactly the opposite from Singapore.

    It's funny how many vote Labour ... with never having the intention of actually labouring ...

    With your limp ... I'd suggest you look at going on an Invalid's Benefit ...

    Interesting clip, long but still compelling viewing just the same. The main points that stand out to me were:

    China, an absolute communist state floundering in political destitution suddenly begins a life giving cycle founded by the adaptation of Capitalist principals and policies!

    As the communist leader said, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, just as long as it catches the mouse!

    Much like the NZ socialist state stagnating because of it's left leaning electorate, causing elected parties to snatch at right leaning policies to try and get some traction and stay afloat and move forward!

    The main thing to stand out though, is that the banking fraternity is always at fault and irrespective of political colours of the people in charge, the banking system performance will determine the outcome but shall shoulder no blame or criticism for the result!

    The blame for that shall rest with the people and their political representatives! .... Don't you just gotta love those bankers!

    As I ve said, If you pump money out of the ground , or the money buys more ,and it all goes looking for investment ,and at the same time real wages are dropping due to changes in the work place ( women ,and the computer for example , as well as the deskilling of workers ) resulting in the advancement of credit

    You cant blame the banks , they are just doing what banks and supermarkets do , make money , Greed is the real key . It doesn’t help when a few REALLY greedy ones club together to change the rules , in order to feed their greed

    Now that is out of order

    In today's Harald (sorry, Te Herora o Aoteroa):

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/ar...ectid=10821467

    National's annual conference was not short of protests. But the protests were embarrassingly short of protesters.

    Contrary to the impression given by some accounts, the 400 or so party faithful did not spend their weekend cowering inside Auckland's SkyCity Convention Centre behind a not-so-thin blue line of police.

    The police showed up in significant number; the protesters did not. Yesterday morning's all-comers rally against everything National stands for drew a total of 79 people
    If you guys are serious, you may have to get off of your arses...

    MMP has spoken!

    So many men so many opinions!

    All the colours of the rainbow screamed ... pick me! ... pick me! ... pick me! ... so the people picked the "blue team"!

    The blue team talked to a couple of their friendly coloured mates and said come with us!

    Now having gained the majority, the blue team played their hand, exactly as they said they would!

    The remaining rejected colours of the rainbow screamed ... fuck you! ... fuck you! ... fuck you!

    Like the man in the cheese advertisement says ... good things take time! ... We shall see then! .MMP? NZ democracy in action?

    The unfortunate thing that these programs seems to miss is that you can't have an economy without borrowing. It not like we started off with 100 trillion poundollarsetas and we have to give it to those who are producing the stuff we want. It's a shame that we have to see things in terms of production, growth and reward based on cost where there is more than enough to go around. That is obvious given China's rise and current lift in standard of living. Why did China have to produce cheap goods to gain a better standard of living? Why couldn't they have shared what we had in the first place? Cooperation at a price does not work. Ditch the price and let's have the cooperation in it's own right... by far a better idea. It'll be interesting to see if we do sink any further as it has been predicted for the US by the fella who predicted the crash in the first place. If the west stops buying, or can't afford to buy, where are the Chinese going to get their customers from?
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
